<1. Embodiment>
[1-1. Overview of information processing equipment]
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an overview of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 </ b> A according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a display area 141. A part of the display target DB1 is displayed in the display area 141 by the information processing apparatus 100A. In addition, the information processing apparatus 100B according to the embodiment of the present invention displays a part of the display target DB 2 in the display area 141.

  Here, the display objects such as the display object DB1 and the display object DB2 have an end DT. For example, it is assumed that the end DT is the upper end of each display object. In that case, when the user is scrolling the display target downward, any end DT reaches the upper end of the display area 141. After the end DT reaches the upper end of the display area 141, the display target cannot be scrolled downward any further.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, when the user is performing an operation of moving the display object, the remaining amount of the display object can be grasped. In order to realize such a function, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention advances the prefetch distance PR upward from the upper end of the display area 141 when, for example, the display target is scrolled downward. Read the display part at the position. Then, for example, as the display target DB1 displayed in the display area 141 by the information processing apparatus 100A, the position advanced by the prefetch distance PR upward from the upper end of the display area 141 is the end DT (upper end) of the display target DB1. If the position is lower than the upper limit, the end DT (upper end) has not yet reached the upper end of the display area 141 for a while, so the user does not need to be notified that the end DT is likely to reach the display area 141.

  On the other hand, for example, as the display target DB2 displayed on the display area 141 by the information processing apparatus 100B, the position advanced by the prefetch distance PR upward from the upper end of the display area 141 is the end DT (upper end) of the display target DB2. If it is above the upper limit, the end DT (upper end) reaches the upper end of the display area 141 after a while, so the user is notified that the end DT is likely to reach the display area 141.

  In addition, as an operation for scrolling the display target, a flick operation or a drag operation for a position detection device such as a touch panel is assumed. It is not limited. At least the operation for scrolling the display target needs to be an operation that can grasp the direction in which the display target is moved. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the operation of moving the display target is performed by a flick operation or a drag operation using the operation tool OP. Needless to say, the direction in which the display target is scrolled is not limited to the downward direction, and may be the upward direction or the left-right direction.

[1-2. When the edge of the display target does not reach the display area when the flick ends]
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention when the end of the display target does not reach the display area at the end of the flick. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the information processing apparatus 100 </ b> C displays a part of the display target DB 1 in the display area 141. In this state, when a flick operation is performed downward by the operating tool OP, the display target DB1 is moved upward by a distance corresponding to the strength of the flick operation from the area displayed in the display area 141 in the display target DB1. The advanced area is theoretically assumed to correspond to the area DR1 displayed in the display area 141 at the end of the flick.

  At the end of the flick, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the information processing apparatus 100 </ b> D causes the display area 141 to display the area DR <b> 1 that is theoretically displayed at the end of the flick. In such a case, since the end DT (upper end) of the display target DB1 does not reach the upper end of the display area 141, the display target DB1 is moved by a flick operation without any particular change.

[1-3. When the end of the display reaches the display area when the flick ends]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention when the end of the display target reaches the display area at the end of the flick. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the information processing apparatus 100 </ b> E displays a part of the display target DB 1 in the display area 141. In this state, when a flick operation is performed downward by the operating tool OP, the display target DB1 is moved upward by a distance corresponding to the strength of the flick operation from the area displayed in the display area 141 in the display target DB1. The advanced region is theoretically assumed to correspond to the region DR2 displayed in the display region 141 at the end of the flick.

  At the end of the flick, as shown in FIG. 3, the information processing apparatus 100F theoretically tries to display the area DR2 displayed in the display area 141 at the end of the flick in the display area 141, but the end DT ( Since the upper end reaches the end (upper end) of the display area 141, it cannot be displayed. In such a case, for example, the movement of the display target DB1 is performed while the movement speed is reduced, for example, the movement of the display target DB1 is rapidly attenuated.

[1-4. Functional configuration of information processing apparatus]
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. The information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes at least a detection unit 110, a determination unit 120, and a display control unit 130.

  The detection unit 110 includes a position detection device 210 and has a function of detecting a moving operation with respect to a display target by the operation tool OP. As described above, the detection unit 110 can detect, for example, a flick operation or a drag operation with the operation body OP as a movement operation with respect to the display target by the operation body OP. However, the moving operation by the operating tool OP is not limited to these, and may be input to an input device such as a cross key or a joystick.

  The determination unit 120 has a function of determining whether or not the display target end DT reaches the display area 141 when the display target is moved by a predetermined distance in the movement direction based on the movement operation detected by the detection unit 110. . When the movement operation detected by the detection unit 110 has a component in a predetermined direction, the determination unit 120 adopts the predetermined direction as the movement direction. For example, when the moving operation is performed obliquely downward, the determination unit 120 recognizes that the moving direction based on the moving operation is the downward direction, and determines that the display target is moved downward by a predetermined distance. To do.

  The predetermined distance that the display target is moved can be determined in advance, for example. In the example described above, for example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the display unit end DT is displayed when the determination unit 120 moves the display target DB 1 in a moving direction (downward) based on the moving operation by a predetermined distance. It is determined that the area 141 is not reached. For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 3, when the display unit DB1 is moved by a predetermined distance in the moving direction (for example, downward) based on the moving operation by the determination unit 120, the display target end DT is displayed in the display area. 141 is determined to be reached.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2, the display control unit 130 has a function of controlling the display target to move in the movement direction (for example, the downward direction). At the same time, the display control unit 130 determines that the display unit end DT (for example, the upper end) reaches the display area 141 when the determination unit 120 moves the display target in the moving direction by a predetermined distance. The display area 141 has a function of controlling to perform a predetermined first display. Various kinds of the predetermined first display are assumed and will be described in detail later.

  The information processing apparatus 100 may further include a storage unit 150. The storage unit 150 is configured by a storage device such as a nonvolatile memory, for example. The storage unit 150 has a function of storing a program for realizing the determination unit 120, the display control unit 130, the processing unit 160, and a function of storing various data used when the program is executed. It is what you have. In addition, various threshold values can be stored.

  The information processing apparatus 100 may further include a display unit 140. The display unit 140 is configured by a display device, for example. The display unit 140 includes a display area 141 and has a function of displaying in the display area 141 under the control of the display control unit 130. In the example described with reference to FIG. 2, the display unit 140 can display a part of the display target in the display area 141 under the control of the display control unit 130.

  The storage unit 150 stores, for example, information related to the display target end DT. The information regarding the display target end DT is, for example, information regarding the distance to each display position on the display target with reference to the display target end DT. For example, the determination unit 120 determines whether or not the display target end DT reaches the display area 141 based on the information about the display target end DT, the currently displayed position on the display target, the moving direction, and the predetermined distance. Judgment can be made.

  The storage unit 150 may store a display target. In that case, the determination unit 120 obtains, from the display target stored in the storage unit 150, a display portion corresponding to a position that is a predetermined distance backward in the direction opposite to the movement direction with reference to the currently displayed position in the display target. can do. The determination unit 120 can determine whether the display target end DT reaches the display area 141 based on the acquired display portion. In the display portion, information on the distance to the display portion in the display target is set with reference to the display target end DT. Based on the information on the distance, whether the display target end DT reaches the display area 141 or not. This is because it can be determined whether or not.

  The information processing apparatus 100 may further include a processing unit 160. For example, the processing unit 160 can execute processing according to the item selected by the operating tool OP.

  The information processing apparatus 100 may include a receiving unit 170. The receiving unit 170 has, for example, a function of receiving information related to the display target end DT. In this case, the determination unit 120 determines whether or not the display target end DT reaches the display area 141 based on the information about the display target end DT, the currently displayed position on the display target, the moving direction, and the predetermined distance. Can be judged. Information about the display end DT can be received from a predetermined server via a network, for example.

  The receiving unit 170 may receive a display portion corresponding to a position that is a predetermined distance backward in the direction opposite to the moving direction with reference to the currently displayed position in the display target. In this case, the determination unit 120 can determine whether the display target end DT reaches the display area 141 based on the display portion received by the reception unit 170. This display part can also be received from a predetermined server via a network, for example.

  In addition, as described with reference to FIG. 3, when the end of the display target reaches the display area at the end of the flick, for example, the display target is displayed by reducing the moving speed, for example, by rapidly decreasing the movement of the display target. Is moved. More specifically, first, the determination unit 120 further determines whether or not the movement operation detected by the detection unit 110 is a flick operation. If the determination unit 120 determines that the moving operation is a flick operation, whether or not the display target end DT passes the end of the display area 141 corresponding to the display target end DT due to the movement of the display target by the flick operation. Judge further.

  When the determination unit 120 determines that the display target end DT passes through the end of the display area 141 corresponding to the display target end DT by the determination unit 120 by the movement of the display target by the flick operation, the display control unit 130 performs the flick operation. The deceleration speed coefficient associated with the movement of the display object is set larger than when it is determined that the display object edge DT does not pass through the edge of the display area 141 corresponding to the display object edge DT due to the movement of the display object.

  The determination unit 120, the display control unit 130, the processing unit 160, and the like are configured by, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like, and a program stored in the storage unit 150 by the CPU is stored in the RAM. The function is realized by expanding and executing. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and the display control unit 130 and the processing unit 160 may be configured by dedicated hardware.

FIG. 35 shows an example of a screen displayed by the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention (when the display target is small) when the moving operation is performed when the display target end DT1 has already reached the display region 141. ). The display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100a1 sets a predetermined value in the display area 141 when the movement operation by the operating tool OP is not detected by the detection unit 110 when the display target end DT1 reaches the display area 141. Control is performed so as not to display a predetermined second display different from the first display.

  In the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100a2, when the display target end DT1 has already reached the end of the display area 141 corresponding to the display target end DT1, the detection unit 110 detects the moving operation by the operating tool OP.

  FIG. 36 shows an example of a screen displayed by the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention (when the display target is small) when the moving operation is performed when the display target end DT1 has already reached the display region 141. ). The display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100b1 sets a predetermined value in the display area 141 when the movement operation by the operating tool OP is not detected by the detection unit 110 when the display target end DT1 reaches the display area 141. Control is performed so as not to display a predetermined second display different from the first display.

  In the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100b2, when the display target end DT1 has already reached the end of the display area 141 corresponding to the display target end DT1, the detection unit 110 detects the moving operation by the operating tool OP. In such a case, the display area 141 is controlled to perform a predetermined second display different from the predetermined first display. FIG. 36 shows an example in which the length of the display target DB 4 in the moving direction (for example, the downward direction) is smaller than the length of the display area 141 in the moving direction.

  In such a case, as shown in FIG. 36, the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100b2 uses, for example, the display target DB 4 as a display target based on the display target end DT1 reaching the end of the display area 141.

[1-15. Screen displayed by operations before and after the edge of the display reaches the display area]
37 to 38 are diagrams illustrating examples of screens displayed by the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention by the moving operation before and after the display target end DT1 reaches the display area 141. The display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100c1 does not yet display a predetermined second display different from the predetermined first display in the display area 141 while the display target end DT1 does not reach the display area 141. To control.

  When the detection unit 110 detects a moving operation by the operating tool OP, the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100c2 displays a predetermined first in the display area 141 until the display target end DT1 reaches the display area 141. Control is performed so as not to display a predetermined second display different from the display.

  In the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100c3, when the display target end DT1 has already reached the end of the display area 141 corresponding to the display target end DT1, the moving operation by the operating tool OP is detected by the detection unit 110. In such a case, the display area 141 is controlled to perform a predetermined second display different from the predetermined first display. In the example illustrated in FIG. 37, the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100c3 deforms an item determined based on the display target end DT1 and the position of the operation tool OP detected by the detection unit 110. Control is performed to perform a predetermined second display.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 37, the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100c3 is configured to deform the items “Action” and “Adventure” by extending them in the movement direction. The expansion amount of the display target DB 5 (the total expansion amount of each item) is M, and the operation object OP in the movement direction when the movement operation is performed when the display target end DT1 has already reached the display area 141 is performed. When the movement amount is L, the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100c3 can expand the display target DB 5 based on M determined as shown in (Formula 2) below, for example.

  M = β × L (Formula 2)

  Here, β is a constant, and its value is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 3/10 (= 0.3).

Further, although M is expected to change based on the change of L, M may be provided with an upper limit value _Mmax . When the length of the display area 141 in the moving direction is N, the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100c3 sets M _max determined as shown in the following (Equation 3) to the upper limit of the expansion amount of the display target DB 5. The display target DB 5 can be expanded as a value.

M _max = α × N (Equation 3)

  Here, α is a constant, and its value is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 1/3.

  As illustrated in FIG. 38, the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100c4 cancels the expansion of the display target DB 5 when a movement operation (for example, upward) in the direction opposite to the expansion direction is detected. As a result, it is possible to control to turn off the predetermined second display on the display area 141. In the example illustrated in FIG. 38, the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100c4 displays only the amount of movement based on the movement operation each time a movement operation in the direction of releasing the extension (for example, upward) is detected. The extension of the target DB 5 is cancelled.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 38, the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100c3 extends the display target DB 5 by M in the expansion direction (for example, downward). Therefore, the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100c4 only moves a movement amount based on the movement operation every time a movement operation in the direction opposite to the expansion direction is detected until the expansion amount of the display target DB 5 becomes zero. Extension can be released.

  The display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100c5 moves when the movement operation in the direction opposite to the expansion direction (for example, upward) is detected after the expansion amount of the display target DB5 becomes zero. The display target DB 5 can be moved in the direction opposite to the extension direction by the amount of movement based on the operation.

[1-16. Screen displayed by operation after edge of display target reaches display area]
FIG. 39 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed by the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention by a moving operation after the display target end DT1 reaches the display area 141. As shown in FIG. 39, the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100c3 is based on the end DT1 to be displayed and the position of the operation tool OP detected by the detection unit 110, similarly to the case shown in FIG. Control is performed to perform a predetermined second display by deforming the determined item.

For example, the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100c6 can expand the display target DB 5 based on M determined as shown in (Expression 2) described above. However, when the upper limit value M _max is provided for M, the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100c6 sets the display target DB 5 beyond M _max determined as shown in (Equation 3) described above. It cannot be stretched.

Therefore, the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100c7 may automatically reduce the display target DB 5 when the expansion amount M of the display target DB 5 reaches a predetermined amount (for example, M _max ). That is, the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100c7 may control to cancel the expansion of the display target DB 5 when the expansion amount M of the display target DB 5 reaches a predetermined amount (for example, M _max ). Good (the extension amount M of the display target DB 5 may be controlled to return to zero).

  FIG. 40 is a diagram illustrating a screen example displayed by the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention by a moving operation after the display target end DT1 reaches the display area 141. As shown in FIG. 40, the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100c3 is based on the end DT1 to be displayed and the position of the operating tool OP detected by the detection unit 110, as in the case shown in FIG. Control is performed to perform a predetermined second display by deforming the determined item.

  Subsequently, it is assumed that the detection unit 110 of the information processing apparatus 100c8 detects the end of the movement operation. In that case, the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100c7 may automatically reduce the display target DB5. That is, the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100c7 may perform control so as to cancel the expansion of the display target DB 5 when the end of the movement operation by the detection unit 110 is detected (the expansion amount of the display target DB 5). M may be controlled to return to zero).

Various methods for the display control unit 130 to automatically reduce the display target DB 5 are assumed. For example,
V (t): length of the display target DB 5 at time t V _END : end value of the length of the display target DB 5 V _START : end value of the length of the display target DB 5 t _DURATION : time required for automatic reduction γ: attenuation parameter Then, the display control unit 130 can reduce the length of the display target DB 5 based on V (t) determined as shown in the following (Equation 4).

V (t) = (V _END −V _START )
× (1.0− (1.0−t / t _DURATION ) ^{2 × γ} ) + V _START (Expression 4)

41 to 43 are diagrams for describing another example of the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention when the end of the display target reaches the display area at the end of the flick. As illustrated in FIG. 41, the information processing apparatus 100W1 displays a part of the display target DB 3 in the display area 141. In this state, when a flick operation is performed upward by the operating tool OP, the display target DB 3 is moved upward by a distance corresponding to the strength of the flick operation from the area displayed in the display area 141 of the display target DB 3. The advanced region is theoretically assumed to correspond to the region DR3 displayed in the display region 141 at the end of the flick.

  At the end of the flick, as shown in FIG. 41, the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100W2 theoretically tries to display the area DR3 displayed in the display area 141 at the end of the flick in the display area 141. Since the end DT (lower end) of DB3 passes through the end (lower end) of the display area 141, it cannot be displayed. As described above, the determination unit 120 determines whether or not the end DT (lower end) of the display target DB 3 passes through the end (lower end) of the display area 141.

  When the determination unit 120 determines that the display target end DT passes through the end of the display area 141 corresponding to the display target end DT by the determination unit 120 by the movement of the display target DB 3 by the flick operation. In other words, after the end DT of the display target DB 3 reaches the end of the display area 141 corresponding to the end DT of the display target DB 3, part or all of the display target DB 3 can be expanded. The display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100W2 may display the expanded display target DB3 in the display area 141, for example. In FIG. 41, the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100W2 expands the item “Thriller” closest to the end DT (lower end) of the display target DB 3 and displays the display target DB 3 after the expansion in the display area 141. An example of controlling is shown.

  When a predetermined time elapses after the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100W3 performs control so that the expanded display target DB3 is displayed in the display area 141, as illustrated in FIG. Control may be performed so that the target DB 3 is displayed in the display area 141. FIG. 42 illustrates an example in which the display control unit 130 of the information processing device 100W3 performs control so that the display target DB in which the extension of the item “Thriller” is released is displayed in the display area 141 when a predetermined time has elapsed. Has been.

  As illustrated in FIG. 42, the information processing apparatus 100W4 displays a part of the display target DB 3 in the display area 141. In this state, when a downward flick operation is performed by the operating tool OP, the display target DB 3 is moved downward by a distance corresponding to the strength of the flick operation from the area displayed in the display area 141 in the display target DB 3. The advanced region is theoretically assumed to correspond to the region DR4 displayed in the display region 141 at the end of the flick.

  At the end of the flick, as shown in FIG. 43, the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100W5 theoretically tries to display the area DR4 displayed in the display area 141 at the end of the flick in the display area 141. Since the end DT (upper end) of DB3 reaches the end (upper end) of the display area 141, it cannot be displayed. In such a case, the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100W5 may display the expanded display target DB 3 in the display area 141, for example. In FIG. 43, the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100W5 displays the item “Action” that is closest to the end DT (upper end) of the display target DB 3, the item “Adventure” that is the second closest, and the item “Animation” that is the third closest. In this example, the display target DB 3 after being expanded is controlled to be displayed in the display area 141.

  Note that the number of items to be expanded by the display control unit 130 is not particularly limited. For example, regardless of the speed of the flick operation, the display control unit 130 may extend each of a predetermined number of items by the same amount, counting from the side closer to the end DT of the display target DB 3, or the end of the display target DB 3 The closer to DT, the larger the elongation may be. Further, for example, the display control unit 130 may extend the number of items determined according to the speed of the flick operation by the same amount from the side closer to the end DT of the display target DB 3. The closer to the end DT, the larger the extension may be.

  When the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100W6 performs control so that the expanded display target DB 3 is displayed in the display area 141, a predetermined time elapses, as illustrated in FIG. Control may be performed so that the target DB 3 is displayed in the display area 141. In FIG. 43, the display control unit 130 of the information processing apparatus 100W6 displays the display target DB 3 in which the expansion of the items “Action”, “Adventure”, and “Animation” is released in the display area 141 when a predetermined time has elapsed. An example of control is shown in FIG.

[1-18. Operation when drag operation (XY axis direction) is performed]
FIG. 44 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of operations performed by the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment when a drag operation is performed (when the display target can move in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction). As shown in FIG. 44, the determination unit 120 determines whether or not the operation detected by the detection unit 110 is being dragged (step S301). If the determination unit 120 determines that the operation detected by the detection unit 110 is not being dragged (“No” in step S301), whether or not the operation one step before the detection detected by the detection unit 110 was Overdrag. Is determined (step S302). The display control unit 130 returns to step S301 when the determination unit 120 determines that the operation before 1 step detected by the detection unit 110 is not Overdrag ("No" in step S302). When it is determined by the determination unit 120 that the operation before one step detected by the detection unit 110 is Overdrag (“Yes” in step S302), the display control unit 130 gradually displays a predetermined second display. Control is performed to perform fadeout drawing to be erased (step S303), and the process returns to step S301.

  If the determination unit 120 determines that the operation detected by the detection unit 110 is being dragged (“Yes” in step S301), the determination unit 120 determines whether or not the overdraft is currently in the X direction (step S304). ). If the determination unit 120 determines that it is not currently overdrafting in the X direction (“No” in step S304), the determination unit 120 determines whether or not it is currently overdrafting in the Y direction (step S312). If the determination unit 120 determines that overdragging is not currently performed in the Y direction (“No” in step S312), the determination unit 120 proceeds to step S302.

  If the determination unit 120 determines that overdraft is currently being performed in the Y direction (“Yes” in step S312), the determination unit 120 determines whether the operation one step before in the Y direction is also overdraft (step S313). . If the determination unit 120 determines that the operation one step before in the Y direction is also overdraft (“Yes” in step S313), the determination unit 120 determines whether or not overdraft is currently in the X direction (step S315). . If the determination unit 120 determines that the operation one step before in the Y direction is not Overdrag (“No” in Step S313), the current Y detected by the detection unit 110 as the Overdrag start point in the Y direction. Update with the coordinates (step S314), and proceed to step S315.

  The determination unit 120 determines whether or not overdraft is currently performed in the X direction (step S315). If the determination unit 120 determines that overdragging is not currently performed in the X direction (“No” in step S315), it updates the Overrag drawing in the Y direction (step S318), and returns to step S301. Updating the Overdrag drawing in the Y direction means controlling to perform a predetermined second display in the Y direction.

  If the determination unit 120 determines that overdraft is currently being performed in the X direction (“Yes” in step S315), the determination unit 120 determines whether the operation one step before in the X direction is also overdraft (step S316). . If the determination unit 120 determines that the operation one step before in the X direction is also overdraft (“Yes” in step S316), the determination unit 120 updates the overdrag drawing in the XY direction (step S311), and returns to step S301. . Updating the Overdrag drawing in the XY direction means controlling to perform a predetermined second display in the XY direction.

  If the determination unit 120 determines that the operation one step before in the X direction is not Overdrag (“No” in step S316), the current X detected by the detection unit 110 as the Overdrag start point in the X direction. Update with the coordinates (step S317), and proceed to step S311. If the determination unit 120 determines that overdragging is currently being performed in the X direction (“Yes” in step S304), the determination unit 120 proceeds with the process in the X direction as in the case of “Yes” in step S312.
